Chapter 111

Interception

When the news reached Qingyang, Liu Taishou and Ge Sima took a breath of cold air together

Going around the city is a taboo for soldiers, and leaving an enemy fortress behind the army is like burying a hidden danger for yourself, and the harm is self-evident. However, under different circumstances, the taboo may also become the way to win.

Yanziping is not only the old nest of Song Yang, but also the sacred place in the hearts of Nanli Buddhists, and since the beginning of the war, Miao Xiang has been encouraging the whole people to resist, how significant it is.

Chang Chunhou has now raised a banner in Qingyang, and the Fengyi armed forces have come with him, Yanziping is empty and undefended, and there are no important towns behind Qingyang and within a radius of hundreds of miles, and several small cities have few soldiers, and there is no strength to snipe at 30,000 enemy cavalry.

If ignored, the destruction of the old nest of the Marquis of Changchun and the auspicious occupation of Miaoxiang are tantamount to being slapped heavily by the Tubo people, and Nanli's morale has suffered a heavy setback; If he wanted to save him, Song Yang had to withdraw his troops from Qingyang. Without the support of the feudal forces, can only the men and horses of the Qingyang headquarters withstand the onslaught of the other 20,000 troops?

If you think deeper, things are even more complicated......

The terrain behind Qingyang is relatively open, Yanziping has no danger to defend, suitable for cavalry impact, although the Fengyi armed forces are elite, but the number of people is at a loss after all, and nearly three times their own strong enemy, which has been guarded against the Titan Bird, can it win?

Or maybe people don't come to fight you at all, maybe when Song Yang rushes back to Fengyi, the Fanzi cavalry will turn around and attack Qingyang, this possibility is very great, you must know that the characteristics of cavalry action are fast speed, good at assault, and invincible.

The soldiers were divided into two ways, the infantry was poised to come, and the cavalry went around the city and pointed directly at Yanziping.

Liu Hou didn't dare to slack off, and took Ge Sima to the post station where Song Yang was located.

At the same time that Taishou received the military information, Song Yang also got the same news, when Liu Hou arrived, the post house was guarded by the mountain Xixiu on duty, and he was ordered to close the door and not see the visitors, no need to ask, Song Yang was discussing this matter with his companions.

Liu Hou didn't dare to urge, and waited patiently downstairs with people, ready to listen to the dispatch of the marquis.

Almost an hour later, the upstairs meeting ended, and the first to come out was Zheng Ji, the leader of the Cicada Yaksha, General Zheng didn't know what the beauty was, he was full of excitement and inexplicable, he usually ignored the magistrate of Nanli, but this time he actually nodded and smiled at Liu Hou when he passed by, it seems that he is in a really good mood.

After Zheng Ji left, the Uighurs Ali Han and Ananda Jinma went downstairs, the former spewing clouds and mist with a cigarette pouch in his mouth, and the latter leaning on a sliding rod and humming a mountain tune, all of them looking relaxed, not at all looking like they were about to have an accident. After that, Song Yang greeted him with a smile and let Taishou go to the hall where the guests were entertained.

Without waiting to sit down, Liu Taishou bowed to Song Yang, and said: "The dog thief is not dead, and he wants to plot to seal the city, if the Hou Ye sends Qingyang up and down, he will obey." Even if Qingyang garrison gallops to help Yanziping, the last general will have no words. ”

After seeing the expressions of the Fengyi generals and Song Yang, Liu Hou can of course understand that people have their own plans for this matter, and most of them don't need Qingyang to do anything, but there must be something in this scene, and this attitude must be understood by Hou Ye.

Sure enough, Song Yang smiled and waved his hand: "If you really want an adult to help, I will definitely be welcome, but this time I don't need an adult to take action, I will take it." ”

Although he knew that he shouldn't ask, but the stakes were very high, Liu Taishou couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Fanzi soldiers are divided into two ways, and they are malicious ...... with their intentions."

Song Yang knew what he wanted to ask, and before he finished speaking, he answered truthfully: "I asked Zheng Ji to take his headquarters to intercept it, and everyone else stayed in Qingyang with me to help Tai guard the city." ＂＂

Ren Xiaozhu participated in the meeting just now, and he heard everything clearly, and now he pretended to understand, and said: "Cicada Yaksha is an elite soldier, good at guarding but even better at attacking, leaving them in the city is a bit of a waste, and it is best to send them out to snipe the enemy cavalry; As for the mountain stream man, the stone guy these health warriors, the city head is more powerful, with them in charge, and then with more than 10,000 garrisons in the city, even if the cavalry of Fanzi is to attack the east and west, run halfway and then turn back to attack Qingyang, we can also hold it steadily. ”

Her Royal Highness the princess took great care to bring out the truth she had just heard from Ananda Jinma almost unchanged, and then she was still not happy, and continued: "Let's talk about our team of birds of prey, they are sharp weapons against cavalry, but the battle of interception and killing, there are trekking, tracking, encounters and ambushes, feints and false retreats, all kinds of situations can happen, of course, the main general needs to have temporary response, according to the situation of the talent, but also the soldiers to be disciplined and orderly. It's no problem for the fierce birds to charge into battle, but after all, it is difficult to get rid of the nature of wild beasts, and it is not easy to command them to move frequently, and it is not suitable to participate in the interception and killing of soldiers. What's more, there is a great advantage to keeping them: in case the enemy attacks fiercely and the city is exhausted, they can be let go to counterattack the enemy's position, and who dares to grab their sharpness head-on? It can immediately cut off Fanzi's offensive. ”

Ren Xiaoyu spoke the truth, Liu Hou was full of admiration, nodded and praised again and again, and he didn't know if he was sincere or false, anyway, Lord Taishou now knew that Song Yang and the main force of the barbarians would stay and continue to defend the city, as for the safety and survival of Yanziping, he had no mind and no qualification.

But Ge Sima is a person who admits death, and since the topic has already begun, the old man wants to ask a clear question, and frowns: "I just don't know... In case the Banzi cavalry is not a feint, and the dog thieves are really determined to destroy Yanziping... With General Zheng alone, can he stop so many enemies. ”

After saying that, Ge Sima was afraid that the Hou Ye and the princess would think that he was underestimating the elite soldiers in their family, so he hurriedly added: "General Zheng's soldiers and horses are the best in the world, there is no doubt about this matter, but after all, the enemy is several times that of me, and the difference is too great." ”

Song Yang smiled and was about to speak, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of Xiao Yuzheng looking at him with a blank eye, almost the same expression Song Yang used to see on Qi Shang's face: When Boss Qi wanted to speak but couldn't find a chance to interject......

Song Yang hurriedly shut up.

Ren Xiaozhu felt that Ge Sima's question had to be answered by her, because just now she had asked Ananda Jinma about it, and after getting Song Yang's signal, she said happily: "It's indeed a big difference, but it depends on how to calculate it." ”

Ge Sima bowed: "Please give guidance to Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"There are more than 30,000 cavalry, and the Cicada Yaksha is now less than 7,000, a gap of more than five times, and the difference in numbers is far away, there is nothing to say. But..."Ren Xiaozhuo's tone turned, and he continued to show off the skills he had just learned: "It's not just more people than fighting a war, Changchunhou dares to send Cicada Yasha to fight, so he naturally has something to rely on: Fanzi's new defeat and big defeat, in terms of cavalry alone, in the battle in front of the city, they lost more than sixty percent." ”

In the last defeat, there were still 60,000 soldiers left in Fanzi's battleable army, but more than 20,000 of them lost their horses and became infantry, and the cavalry was only less than forty percent of the original. After Ge Sima nodded, Xiao Yu said downward: "From 100,000 to more than 30,000, in terms of organization, I don't know how many teams and battalions have been broken and disabled, and if Fanzi wants to fight again, he has to reorganize the camp." ”

The original 1,000-strong brigade now has 400 people left, and these 400 people are not 400-strong teams, but 10 teams ranging from 30 to 50 people.

"In the past, in an army, everyone ate and slept together, shared joys and sorrows, trained and fought together, and soldiers were surrounded by their friends and companions, and they could rely on each other and even trust their lives when fighting; But now there are people around me who don't know each other, maybe even the commander is a stranger, how can this make the soldier feel at ease? When they are fighting, how can they not hide a secret idea of being ready to flee for their lives at any time? And how can you do everything you can to kill the enemy? If the war can go smoothly, it is fine, as long as it is disturbed a few times and a few small blows, it will soon be panicked...... Although it still looks like a complete team of 1,000 people after the reorganization, in terms of combat power, it is really not comparable to the original. This is just a team, if you stand taller and look at it, Fanzi's team and team, between the big camp and the big camp, how can it not be the same reason? ”

"The same more than 30,000 people, a newly defeated and reorganized team? Hey, it's far off. Ren Xiaozhu smiled and shook his head: "What's more, there was a big defeat just a few days ago, and the enemy did not stop the loss of troops, and was also defeated momentum, demoralized, and lost a large number of supplies and baggage; What's more, they went deep into the rear, and their reliance on the terrain was only on the military map in their hands; What's more, the weather is getting hotter, heavy rain and light rain are continuous, can Zephan adapt? ”

After the three 'what's more', Her Royal Highness Princess Xuanji changed the conversation again and went back to the original 'huge difference': "Compared with the number of people, the cicada yaksha is not as good as Fanzi, and the difference is huge; But when comparing combat power, literacy, morale, geography, and sky, we are far superior in everything, and Fanzi is not far worse than us. This battle can be fought and can be won, don't worry, Lord Ge. ”

After saying that, Xiao Yu picked up a cup of tea to cover his face, and then... Laughing, I can't help but laugh uncontrollably, and I feel comfortable in my heart, why am I so happy.

These are not too profound truths, but it is really not easy to say it from the mouth of a princess, Liu Taishou is not a compliment, Ge Sima also nodded again and again, it seems that he is happy and convinced, but I didn't expect that when Taishou's praise was finished, the old man added again: "In short... You still have to be careful, Yanziping is a big deal, and there is really no room for error. ”

Xiao Zhu blinked, she explained the reason for using soldiers and the basis for fighting in pieces, and Ge Sima came to say this again, and the princess didn't know what to say.

Song Yang responded: "Master Sima, don't worry, the military order under Zheng Ji is very clear, it is best to intercept and kill Fanzi, if you really can't stop it, forget it." ”

Ge Sima was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Song Yang's 'just forget if you can't stop it' meant.

At this time, Ren Churong, who had been silent, spoke softly, took over the topic, and said to Liu and Ge: "All the armed forces in the fiefdom have reinforced Qingyang with us, and Yanziping is therefore empty and undefended, and it may be raided by Fanzi around the city, which is expected." ”

The county lord's words were very clear: since Song Yang had decided to come to Qingyang, he had already made up his mind to abandon Yanziping.

"The fiefdom will definitely be destroyed in the hands of Fanzi, but it is a good place, and I am not willing to be ruined by more than 30,000 defeated soldiers, so I asked Zheng Ji to send troops to snipe, Cicada Yaksha can win the best, it doesn't matter if you really can't stop it, the key is that Cicada Yaksha has no major casualties." Song Yang finally explained, and stopped talking with a smile.

Liu Taishou and Ge Sima glanced at each other, putting aside Miaoxiang's auspicious appearance, everyone in the world knows that Yanziping is the hometown of Changchun Hou, can he really give up his homeland this time? And what made the two adults even more confused was the sentence Song Yang said, 'A good place was ruined by more than 30,000 defeated soldiers', the empty city and wasteland, who destroyed it?

However, seeing that Song Yang had no intention of explaining, Liu and Ge didn't dare to ask any more, and retired after reporting some military information such as city defense and reinforcements.

That night, the cicada Yaksha poured out of its nest and followed its master east out of Qingyang, and soon disappeared into the night.

The next day, Qingyang was safe and sound, and then in the morning, more than 20,000 people from Fanzi 'from riding to stepping' arrived at the city, and in the following days they set up camp and were busy, cutting down trees from the vicinity to make ladder door hammers, collecting sand and filling sandbags, and making all kinds of preparations for the siege.

Taishou listened to Song Yang's orders, ignored them, and let them prepare. As for the enemy troops who went around the city to kill Ben Yanziping and the Cicada Yasha who was ordered to snipe the enemy, there is not much news so far, only that the two sides have taken over several battles, but the specific situation is unknown.

Since the fourth day of the appearance of the soldiers, the other side has finally begun to attack the city, this time they have no fire oil in their hands, and can only use those conventional tactics. You must know that now in the city, the local garrison of Qingyang, the stragglers who have gathered in, the reinforcements who have been transferred and the soldiers and horses who were stationed in Yanziping before, only the Nanli soldiers have more than 10,000 people, plus the 'savages and beasts' in the fiefdom, the strength is really strong, the defenders of the city are much stronger than the siege of the city, it is strange that Fanzi can take advantage, the enemy launched a few offensives and suffered a few big losses, and after two days of fighting, Fanzi suffered enough, and the offensive gradually weakened, from a fierce attack to a constant nuisance, it seems that he should be waiting for news from the cavalry department.

Qingyang's side still ignored them, whether it was a fierce attack or a feint, they were treated the same, anyway, as long as they saw the enemy, they would be unceremonious...... After another seven days, in the afternoon, Fanzi launched a new offensive, Song Yang and Liu Taishou were supervising the battle at the head of the city together, and Luo Guan, who was guarding the post station, suddenly came up from the city and whispered something to him.

Song Yang's face was shocked when he heard this: "Really? ”

On the side, Liu Taishou was a little panicked, I don't know if this great master brought bad news, but he quickly put his mind at ease, because Luo Guan laughed, nodded to Song Yang and said: "Originally, we didn't believe it, but the military newspaper said it clearly, and this time everyone couldn't help but admire them." ”

Song Yangha laughed, turned his head to Liu Taishou and said, "I just received a report from Zheng Ji at home, and the cicada Yasha has won a great victory...... Before the Fanzi cavalry could see the shadow of the fiefdom, they were annihilated by the Cicada Yasha. ”

Liu Taishou was also stupid, and couldn't help but ask: "All annihilation?" ”

Seven thousand against forty thousand, even if Xiao Yu's analysis is very thorough, some of this battle is fought, in the eyes of everyone, the concept of 'winning' is just a successful stop, forcing the enemy back, so that they can't occupy the fiefdom, but no one expected, let alone dare to think, that the Cicada Yaksha actually swallowed this enemy army!

Song Yang's laughter was loud, running and jumping down the city, and soon after the horns in Qingyang City continued, and recently today, the mountain stream man, stone guy and other fiefdom armed forces that have been 'idle' quickly assembled, and then the city gate was opened, Liu Jiajun took the lead, and the armed forces followed closely behind, the army of tigers and wolves, and the flood beasts......
